Hi Association Executives,
Following our AE call today, attached is the May 14, 2020 CMS Bulletin titled, "Medicaid Managed Care Options in Responding to COVID-19".
There appears to be some helpful, and at times creative, guidance in here, particularly for states who have been unsure how to move forward with directed payments as a COVID response lever to enhance provider payments.
We'll take some time to discuss on next week's AE call.
Take care,
Frankie
